Initially formed as the organs of those two ideological blocks, the newspapers gradually had to adapt to the realities of their American environment.

Its predominance continued in the post-World War II era, and by the 1960s the Archdiocese felt emboldened to introduce a key change to address the needs of the Americanized second-and third-generation Greek Americans. This led Archbishop Iakovos to propose that parish priests be allowed to hold the Sunday liturgy in English, where appropriate. This triggered a sharp reaction by the Greek-language media and organizations predominantly headed by immigrant Greek Americans that were mostly concentrated in New York City and along the East Coast. What amounted to a small-scale revolt against the Archbishop led to the intervention of the "Mother Church," the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople. Ultimately, Iakovos had to tactically retreat so that he could counter attack later more effectively. But the fact that he suffered the only setback, albeit temporary, in his almost forty-year tenure as the head of the Archdiocese illustrates the resonance and significance of the Greek language in the ways many defined Greek American identity, and the ways language can be used as a tool to challenge even the strongest ethnoreligious institutions. But is also telling of the considerable political skills of Archbishop Iakovos who ultimately managed to weather the challenge.

And Greece's publicity to keep interest in visiting Greece alive during the campaign #greecefromhome is publicized on a number of other Greek American websites, most notably the Chicago-based HALC organization. More recently, the American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association (AHEPA) announced a $30,000 donation to an Athensbased research center working to support the public health in response to the coronavirus pandemic. These are some of the very few Greek American offers of help to Greece during the current pandemic crisis. The reason is that conditions in the United States do not permit Greek Americans to do as they have done in the past. Earlier crises of global proportions, such as the world wars of the twentieth century and the economic crisis of the early twenty-first century were moments when Greek Americans expressed their solidarity

This book, a reproduction of the International Journal of the History of Sport vol. 27 issue 12, ... more This book, a reproduction of the International Journal of the History of Sport vol. 27 issue 12, consists of five essays bracketed by a prologue and an epilogue all of which address the importance of the legacy of the classical past on sports culture in modern Greece. The essays focus on a range of topics: historiography, female bodily culture and public rituals associated with physical exercise and sporting events. Overall, the greater emphasis is much less on modern Greek sports and much more on the classical legacy. Zinon Papakonstantinou, one of the two co-editors, discusses in his introduction the ways the classical past and the assumption of continuity between ancient and modern Greece have shaped Greek society. His essay sets the scene for those that follow. All of these confirm the significance of the classical legacy in the modern era. This is certainly the case in Christina Koulouri's contribution on the place of sports in Greek national historiography from the establishment of the modern Greek state in 1830 through the early 1980s. Nineteenth century historiography in Greece was at the core of nation building and a central pillar in developing the idea that the modern Greeks were direct descendants of the Ancient Greeks. It was in that light that the major works by Greek historians discussed sports only with reference to Classical Greece rather than any other period of the supposedly continuous trajectory of the history of the Greek people. As Koulouri notes, the concern with sports in those historical works reflected primarily cultural (one could also say " ideological ") concerns rather than any special interest in athletic events per se or physical exercise. A cluster of publications that appeared at the time of the first modern Olympic Games, held in Athens in 1896, confirmed the overwhelming emphasis on classical Greek sports and their significance. In the twentieth century, historians began filling in the gaps by portraying sport and physical exercise in the eras in between the classical and the modern, as part of a continuum. Those periods were " athleticized " as Koulouri notes, and not always persuasively. Overall, she notes, the history of sports in Greece remained underdeveloped until the 1980s because of traditional academic disdain for physical exercise but even more importantly because modern Greece did not embrace sporting activities and physical activity as part of its contemporary public culture or as part of its educational policies. Koulouri's chapter is placed first after Papakonstantinou's prologue and these contributions combine well to frame the volume and prepare the reader for what follows, a predictable highlighting of the classical symbolism surrounding sports and physical activity in modern Greece, rather than treatments of sports culture or particular sports. As Koulouri notes, the actual history of sports has evolved since the 1980s but has done so relatively slowly and remains in a process of maturation. In the meantime, scholars will have much to reflect upon with regard to the legacy of classical Greece and Greek sports with the help of the rest of this volume. The shadow that ancient Greece casts on modern Greek sports may be predictable yet the ways this unfolds can be quite unexpected. This is the case with Eleni Fournaraki's essay entitled " Bodies that Differ: Mid-and Upper-Class Women and the Quest for 'Greekness' in female Bodily Culture (1896-1940). " Fournaraki focuses on the Greek women's movement in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and the ways it promoted its goals through associating women's bodily culture with the classical Greek paradigm.
